Entering a Burial set in the Fair.

[CLLinda]

Hi everyone,

 

This year, they opened the crochet catagory up a little bit at the fair. They let us enter two entries in each lot, such as afghans, clothing, etc.

It had only been one before.

 

So I had made a pretty pink set (Dress, Bonnet, booties and panties) and that won a first place ribbon.

 

I had a bunch of white yarn and I made a pretty white with pink trim burial set for a preemie (1 to 2 pounds). I made the long gown, a bonnet and some booties. I intend to donate it for Care Wear Volunteers to a center in Wisconsin.

 

I was looking at how I did, and the lady who helped judge the items was astonished that there was an organization for such items. So I spoke with her and let her know about this group. She said she would let the judge know about it.

 

So I walked away with a second place ribbon, and educated some people. I think I did something special. And then the item will go to a family who needs an extra hug at a sad time in their life and I can help out a little bit.

 

I think we are all winners.

Congratulations on your ribbons!

And it's nice that you were able to tell someone about an organization that helps others.

 

Our fair had a catagory that they judged and then the items went to a local charity. The items included afghans, clothes, and toys.

Linda, that is so wonderful of you to open others eyes that such things are unfortunately needed.

 

Congrats on the ribbons.

Congrats on the ribbon, Linda!

 

I admire you for crocheting the burial set. It takes a special person with

a very big heart to crochet these outfits. Your post really touched me.

Thank you for doing this.
